One of the first steps people often take to get into birding is to set up one’s
yard to attract some flying friends. Bird feeders with various seeds, suet
cakes, and other homemade treats like peanut butter balls will get the birds’
attention. Once you see them feeding, the fun begins. Get your phone and
cameras out and start taking note of your visitors’ size, colors, markings, and
habits. Next, take note of the song and record it on your phone for future
reference. You will be amazed at the variety and distinct sound each type
of bird makes. You may be surprised how familiar these birdcalls will seem
to you.

Wright’s most famous buildings are iconic emblems of modern
design. Fallingwater is Wright’s instantly recognizable home nestled
into the woods of southwestern Pennsylvania. Built between 1936
and 1939, this architectural gem is as utterly modern today as
it was the day it was designed. Fallingwater literally sits atop
a waterfall, making the homeowners feel one with nature. The

When you’re ready to get beyond your backyard, a great place to connect
with other birders and record the birds you have come in contact with is
the app called eBird, developed and run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
Once you’ve logged onto the app,
you can record your sightings,
follow others’ activity, and help
provide Cornell with important
migratory information to help
protect and save our feathered
friends. You’ll also be notified of
sightings near you so you can get in
on the birding fun.
Another online resource is
BirdWatchingDaily.com, where
birdwatchers can enter their state
or current location and get a list of
birding “hot spots” to perhaps get
in on some rare sightings. The web
site also provides information on
bird festivals, bird magazines, and
bird-related products. To determine
if the birds you are seeing in your
area are in danger of becoming
extinct, log onto Audubon.org. The
group’s Priority Bird Species list birds
that have significant conservation
needs. With all this information, we
can’t help but think there’s never
been a better time to be a bird
lover. Happy birding!

The Guggenheim Museum in New York
City is perhaps the next most instantly
recognizable Wright design. Taking some 16
years for Wright to complete, the Guggenheim is a striking white
spiral form from the outside with the look of the interior of a nautilus
shell on the inside. Foregoing floors and stairs, a spiral walkway
leads museumgoers gradually up and down the gallery.
Heading westward, in Scottsdale, Arizona, stands Taliesin West,
Wright’s winter home and desert studio retreat, now home to the
Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and School of Architecture. Wright
lived here until his death at age 91. Taliesin West, Scottsdale’s only
National Historic Landmark, is open for tours, including stops at
Wright’s private residence and art collections. The Night Lights tours
and “Junior Architects” tours are must-see for all Wright enthusiasts.
But these famous buildings are merely a few of the 500 or so
houses and buildings Wright designed and
constructed throughout his illustrious career.
Wright fans often travel the country to see
and tour as many of his projects as possible.
And quite a journey they will find themselves
on: his designs can be found in 38 states.
Talk about a prolific builder! With six Wright
buildings in Wisconsin alone, the cheese state
has created a Frank Lloyd Wright Heritage
Trail to help travelers see all the sights. Web
sites also abound helping travelers navigate
around the country to see the buildings. Some
even allow overnight stays. Road trip anyone?

The Mystery Castle is an amazing man-made
monument to enduring love. Boyce Gully built
the native stone structure for his daughter, Mary
Lou: eighteen rooms, thirteen fireplaces, a
chapel, cantina, dungeon, and many charming
nooks and crannies – all made of a wide range
of materials and furnished with southwestern
antiques.

ooking for something fun to do this weekend but don’t feel like heading
too far from home? Though it may not sound very new, particularly
modern, or super thrilling in our digital age, bird watching is actually
a fun activity that is experiencing a new wave of interest. Who knew that
some 47 million Americans identify as birders, according to the National
Audubon Society? And the best part, birding is an activity that people of
all ages can enjoy together. Fortunately, in today’s techie world, it’s easier
than ever to identify birds online, locate birding hot spots, and connect with
fellow avian enthusiasts.

sk most people to name a famous American architect and
one name typically comes to mind: Frank Lloyd Wright.
Born in Wisconsin 150 years ago, Wright had a long, prolific
career and was a huge influence on modern architecture. Know
that open floor plan that everyone loves in today’s homes? You
can thank Wright for bringing that airy flow into homes way back in
the 1930s. He was also committed to blending his designs into the
natural world, perhaps more so than any other architect before or
since.

cantilevered balconies and
terraces, horizontal lines and flat
roofs, as well as plenty of glass,
have become synonymous with
Wright’s Prairie School style.

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Slice the bacon into half inch strips. Invert the strips
and cut half inch pieces. Place the bacon fat into a heavy-duty sauce pan and
warm until melted. Add the bacon, bring to a simmer and turn down the heat right
before it is fully sizzling. Continue cooking until the bacon is dark in appearance and
slightly chewy, but very tender. Reserve the bacon fat to fry the croutons in. Cut the
bread into 1 inch squares. Toss in bacon fat and bake until lightly golden but dry
throughout. Reserve for later. Reduce oven temperature.
Warm the bacon in a small pan in the oven. Dredge the egg in milk and panko, fully
coating it. Fry the egg until golden brown and drain on paper towel.
Combine the kale, frisée, onions, herbs, croutons and dressing in a salad bowl and
toss well. Add salt and pepper as desired. Neatly arrange the salad on a plate or
bowl and top with croutons and warm lardons. Carefully cut the egg in half with a
bread knife, sprinkle with sea salt, add to salad and serve.
